Look into the sendmail config option BAD_RCPT_THROTTLE. The value is the max number of allowed invalid recipients after which sendmail starts delaying responses to sender. (Basically after each RCPT it sleeps before sending "user unknown.")
The "user unknown" response is the exception rather than the rule, unfortunately. Normally all mail goes through unblocked. Unless I start running sendmail as a milter, which I believe would remove any ability to do user_prefs.
